I need to organize some things.

I have a bunch of lists of things I have to go through, like movies I have to see and stand up comedians I have to check out. Anyone know of a good program I can use to have a nice overview of these things and an easy way to cross out things I've checked out.

Also, anyone know of a great RSS reader? I'm not a fan of Google's reader. I'm currently using RSSOwl and it's really good, except for one thing, it crashes quite often.
