Okay, I'm not ashamed to admit it: I need help with the internet. And for shopping, one of the things I excel in online! I'm trying to find something I saw when I was fourteen, and I'd like to get for my house now. It's a calendar-of-sorts that's poster sized, with all of the months running along the top and the days of the month down the left hand side. Every date has a little rectangle you can write in someone's name and the year they were born, or whoever's anniversary it is, or whatever. Since it's locked in by number, the calendar itself never changes and it always hangs on your wall as a reminder while you're eating your cheerios that you need to get a card for Great-Aunt Mabel.
I've tried searching for "perpetual calendar", "multi-year calendar", "reminder calendar", but I can't find what I'm looking for. I can always make one by designing it myself and finding a large-scale plotter somewhere, but it shouldn't be this hard. Anyone know what I'm talking about, and have any other places it might be hiding under a different alias?

P.S. I love the title of this journal entry.
