I used to primarily do wide angle shots but not all the time anymore.
Though I've always been pretty good about doing 'candid' shots of
individual people [and often, without them knowing, while I use the
telephoto lense], more recently I've been doing more and more of
isolating specific things to capture an area or place.
And I, too, will often pick a theme to focus on. I think I've mentioned
elsewhere in this conference that some of my themes have included such
things as fences, shadows, clouds, and sunrises over the Atlantic coast.
I like you're idea of the neon lights... [and thanks for the different
links. There are a number of them here in MI as well as in NC that I've
seen and remember]. Sometimes when I'm out somewhere and taking a
number of photos, I'll also include one of a sign saying where I am; I
haven't focused on any particular type of sign, though.

There's a new theme that Grexers may want to consider.
Passionately Pink for the Cure (a group admin) says:
30 Sep 07 - In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Yahoo! is
donating $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for each pink photo added to
this pool up to $50,000. Add your photos now!
Upload a pink photo to your Flickr account, add the photo to the
"Passionately Pink for the Cure" photo pool, and Yahoo! will donate a
dollar.
Showcase your passion for the cure by uploading passionately pink photos
to help raise vital funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Share photos
in honor of a survivor, in memory of a loved one, to celebrate
Passionately Pink for the Cure events. Or simply share a pink photo that
inspires others to rally around the cause.
You can link your Passionately Pink photos here as well.

Re resp:2: When shooting landscapes I find it's best to get there
shortly after sunrise or hang around until sunset. I feel the warm,
low-angle sunlight at the beginning and end of the day gives the best
mood and picks up lots of interesting textures. For the same reason,
fall is my favorite season for photography.

I like fall photography, too; so far, we haven't had much in the line of
color change here, though.
Hmm, Colleen, I don't know if I have any pink photos or not--though I do
think that yahoo is doing a good thing. There's definitely cancer in
my family, including my mom who had breast cancer.

The Common Threads Project
http://www.flickr.com/groups/common-threads/
A photo project where you are asked to upload your shots for each of 71
things (behavior, ability, preferences) that all people have in common
all over the world.
The topics were selected from the list of "human universals" originally
compiled by Donald E. Brown in 1991.
Here's a link to the 71 universal topics.

Some of them include:
Laughing
Crying

I'm in a photo rut; I need to somehow come up with more ideas of what to
shoot.

How about taking pictures of your own house... like in Better Homes and
Gardens.

I do have a few photos of the outside [front] of my house and in a
couple rooms inside but none in the back or on the 1st floor. My place
isn't Better Homes and Gardens but I could still take some of the
gardens I do have when the plants are in season.
