When I used Mupen in years past I could have sworn it opened like any other application, but when I download it, the only runnable application is "mupen64plus-ui-console.exe" which opens the console then immediately closes. Where is the, uh. The emulator? The, uh, everything that lets me interface with everything going on here? The readme doesn't really clarify the situation either. 
What am I supposed to do with this lol??

The only official front-end application which is support by the core Mupen64Plus team is the command-line (ie, console) UI. This is the one which you mentioned: mupen64plus-ui-console.exe

Here is a quick start guide:

And some more detailed documentation:

There are also GUI front-end applications available, which are maintained by other developers. Here are some of them:
