i havent even read enough gl to justify the feelings and emotions i have about kyle i just have the lovers heart and also something wrong with me. and my projection. in my mind he's just like me. and he would have loved college vending machine frozen cheeseburger and heating it up in the microwave at 1 in the morning because he was bored and didn't want to work on a drawing assignment on 20" x 30" paper that was due tomorrow in his freshman year. he would have loved going to the club to push off finals work that's creating the worst stress known to man in his brain. and he would love to annoy the fuck out of his roommate when high and avoiding homework on a saturday.

This week in Muse Wiki: the Black Holes and Revelations furniture

So here's something fun I discovered while poking around the wiki: today I learned that the original table and chairs from the Black Holes and Revelations album cover were the prize in a 2007 contest by Q Magazine.

The only surviving info I could find on the contest was this thread on the now-defunct MuseLive forums. As you can see, it wasn't a particularly hard contest to win.

Unfortunately I can't find any other info on how the contest ended, i.e. who won the table + chairs set. Assuming they haven't already been scrapped by now, someone out there is likely eating their breakfast on a bonafide piece of Muse history.

The Royal Family in 1846

Artist: Franz Xaver Winterhalter (German, 1805–1873)

Date: Between October 1846 and January 1847

Medium: OIl on Canvas

Collection: Royal Collection, United Kingdom

Description

In this well-known picture Queen Victoria is skilfully depicted as both sovereign and mother. The scene is one of domestic harmony, peace and happiness, albeit with many allusions to royal status: grandeur in the form of jewels and furniture, tradition (through the Order of the Garter) and the continuation of the royal lineage. The Prince of Wales, wearing a Russian blouse, stands beside his mother but meets the gaze of his father. Prince Alfred is on the left in the skirted outfit typically worn by young boys up to the age of around three. He walks towards his three sisters – Victoria, Princess Royal on the far right, Princess Alice and the infant Princess Helena. Queen Victoria wears an emerald and diamond diadem designed by Prince Albert in 1845 and made by Joseph Kitching at a cost of £1,150. Matching drop earrings and three brooches attached to her bodice complete the parure. Prince Albert wears court dress, consisting of black velvet breeches, a white satin waistcoat and a black single-breasted dress coat cut fashionably tight on the arms. Both wear their ribbon and star of the Garter, and Prince Albert also wears the Garter itself and the badge of the Golden Fleece.
