I read a lot. I like to read a variety of different books within various genres because one never knows where the inspiration might come from. I also enjoy watching a lot of movies and television programming as well as playing video games. Media of all sorts can serve as an inspiration.
Beyond those things, I like to listen to music...particularly instrumental, post-rock material that helps to build a soundtrack in my head for which I'll need to craft scenes that are fitting.
Also, I love to browse through open submissions and even closed anthology submissions to see if the topic spawns something in me. Whether I can submit anything or not, I might just be inspired to write something new.

I'm keeping this one vague so that it remains useful as an answer. This answer will likely be true even years from now because it's pretty much always correct. I'm working on a couple of different novels as well as assorted pieces of shorter fiction (up to and including novella-length material).

If I had the choice, I would go adventuring on Moya, the living ship from the Farscape television series, novels, and graphic novels. There's just something about the way the creators of the show and subsequent material fleshed out the distant corner of the universe where it all takes place that makes it one of the most appealing places I could imagine being.

Like a professor of mine once said, "There is no good writing, only good rewriting."

I listen to music that I think might inspire me or I start reading someone else's work, hoping that it might knock something loose.
