And this year, I'm using Google Docs. :)

I ascended this weekend, for the fourth time ever, and for the first time as a barbarian. I was hoping this would mean the end of the recent obsession, but no. I'm continuing to start new random games, even though the RNG is frowning on me lately... for example, I just started a caveman who stepped on a magic trap first turn.

Fantastic news! There was a bug in my Christmas spreadsheet and I was underestimating my level of completion. This morning I thought I was at 72% but once I fixed the bug, it turned out I'm really at 82%.

Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
