Cool Interest List idea:

I don't know why I never thought of this before: how about using your blog interest list (or interests you have ganked from others) for two different things:

As a writing/journaling prompt generator--write each interest down on its own 3 x 5 card.

• If it is an object, use it in a story
• If it is a person, pretend to be Larry King and interview the person
• If it is a band, pretend to be a member and write from their perspective
• If it is an author, try to write an entry in their style
• If it is a concept, write an essay paragraph about it

As an oracle deck. Shuffle your cards, ask a question, or not, and see what you get.

• If it is a person, try to channel them and ask questions
• If it is a band, listen to some of their music while you meditate and see what happens
• If it is an author, open one of their books and read the text under your finger
