The largest time with no blocks in the recent history (not counting difficulty = 1 prehistory) was slightly above 2 hours:

The probability of such long time without blocks is 1:160000 assuming 6 blocks/hour hashspeed.
There was a 7h time between blocks at
http://blockexplorer.com/b/74638
but I guess this was due to the infamous bug in pre-0.3.9 bitcoin.

So, when slush's pool was working for 10 hours, it just meant that they hadn't found the answer to a block in that amount of time. The entire time, blocks were being discovered, and that information was being updated into the pool so they could try to find the next one. Correct?

Precisely.

I've been lucky today. Just started my first ever solo mining attempt today. Hit my first block in the first 12 hours. 8 hours later I shut down the miners to do somthing, when I finally got them going a few minutes ago and literally a minute into it I hit another block... Shit I just looked at the screen THREE MORE BLOCKS WTF?
... ok that last sentence was complete bs, but I feel like I nailed a solo block now I should jsut jump back in the pool for 24 hours, then hit the solo miners again for 24 hours. Alternation maybe my luck?

What block is next diff?
Take current number of blocks and divide by 2016. The decimal part tells you the % of the way to the next diff update. Subtract it from 1 and multiply that decimal by 2016 to get blocks to next diff update.
