Iso Chins, 4xMax time
Alternating DB Bench, 65 (8/8/8)
Reverse Lunges, 35s (8/8/8)
NG Chinups (8/7/6)
Elevated Pushups (17/15/10) - I don't know the name of these. Pushups on two dbs, so you stretch and pause at the bottom.
Bench Pistols (5/5/5) - concentrated on actually sitting back and down vs falling back and down
Personally, I never start a workout after 10:00 PM.
Those can be the most fun and most productive. I do miss that about my old gym in Virginia. Twenty-four hour key access, and with my job at the time, midnight workouts weren't unheard of. Just me, the iron, and the kick-ass alt/rock station blasting on the radio. Too bad that place is gone now.

I'm with Ben. If I'm stressed, lifting gets the angst out, and I am usually in bed and asleep within an hour after the workout and shower.

HS Bench, 80 (6/5/6/6) - The fitcast made me laugh and miss my 6th rep on set 2. Fuckers.
Chinups, +25 (6/6/5/6) - body weight 192, btw
Bench Pistols (5/5/5/5)
DB Split Squats, 25s (6/6/6/5)
Standing Cable Press, 70* (15/15/12) - Freemotion, rather than the cable station, so weights different from last week
Pallof Press, 35 (to infinity), 50 (12/12)
EZ Bar Curls, 65 (10/10/9+2)
Decline Skullcrushers, 65 (9/10/10) - everytime I do these, I think of that dick Skullcrusher on the MF forums.
Kneeling Cable Crunch, 90 (8/8/8) - these were really hard. Concentrated on curling into a little ball.
Coming of a day of fasting made this workout tough, but good. I had to grab a snack in the middle to keep going.
Met a couple of friends in the gym. That was nice.
One's 20, 5'3" and 118lbs. Sound lovely? He's a boy. The dude just won't eat and he's always fricking running. He can't explain why, but I'm convinced he thinks it's healthy. He hits the treadmill in between chunks of his bro workout because he needs to get his heartrate back up (for some reason).
Now, after a year of him asking questions, he tells me he's a vegetarian. All this time. Only he's not the vegetarian that eats veggies, he's a carbatarian™. Only the healthy ones, though - pasta, brown rice, kashi cereal, oatmeal, wheat bread, tortillas. Plus some beans, occasionally. He seems to eat about one serving of actual veggies a day, about a cup of milk, no eggs or cheese (cuz they're bad for you?) plus he occasionally drinks some soy milk for some inexplicable reason.
Poor kid....doesn't have a clue. Good for you for pointing him in the right direction. Hope he takes your advice. Did you tell him he ain't gonna get a girl when he weighs less than them!

Yes, and like many vegetarians who eat veg for health, he smokes.

Arch supports, stretching the calves, icing the bottom of the foot, wearing that weird strap at night, and rest, rest, rest!
