By "weird stuff" I assume you mean the prefix?

': ' {timestamp} ':' {runtime} ';'

That's controlled by the 'extended_history' option.  You can turn it off 
via:

setopt no_extended_history

I love it (It provides half of what you're adding with your hook.), but 
I've also wanted to add PWD to my historyfiles for a while.
