The other thing that surprised me was
 8 Tunnels, 3 Embassies, ... 6 Golds

Funny...I saw this this morning then the same thing just happened to me.  I took on all 10 curses throughout the game (trashed two) and won by a mile.  Opponent was not very bright.

Wow, epic fail on the part of your opponent. You should have lost 18-18 (or 19-20 if there's a point tracker).

Here's mine, although I trashed a curse with governor to get secret chamber, and trashed one to opponent's governor.
Key cards: KC/gov/quarry.

Oh, I totally forgot to post the log.  http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201207/17/game-20120717-165154-c0604e8f.html

I'm of the opinion a win taking all the curses deserves a CR achievement.

I've done it a few times. In most cases the opponent has a good cursing strategy I've just identified a more elegant and flexible non-cursing strategy that is not possible to switch to once committed to Familiars/IGG/Witch/Etc.

This is a good point, you probably should have lost. Your opponent passes up three opportunities to buy a Duchy at the end of the game, plus an opportunity for an early Province on turn 10. However, this game is a good lesson for beginners in that it's green that wins games.

T15/T17 should have been a province actually.  Maybe T17 isn't a province if T15 is, but still that's 12 points with province+2 duchies

Seems like this probably happens a lot in torturer games where one player is just petrified of the curses:
