in all serious, make POV about an initiative or idea you passionate about
brainstorm new business ideas, pitch them to you crew
learn a new technology
build a spaceage cubicle from waste paper and spray mount

i would come up with a project useful to the company, then get mad bonus points for being proactive
but i guess you could sit around and wank online all day, too

Be proactive and find something to do. Ask coworkers if they need help. Propose something. Don't just sit there and be worthless.

isn't it during periods like these that studios put you to work redoing the company website, or company promotional materials, or summat? seems like a waste if they keep you idling.

Studio downtime is a good time to get mixed up in some crazy office drama and tell your superiors how you really feel via late night emails.
Don't miss out on the opportunity!

wow... have you done anything for the studio in that time like a folio, brochure poster, or calendar website mockup?
I know it's the down period, but aren't you worried about keeping your job?
