 It sounds similar to the film described above.  Tell me more.

It comes in 8.5 X 11 sheets and seems to cost about $1.50 - $2.00 per
sheet, depending on where you buy it.  Rather than atempting to explain
it following are 2 webpages, the Techniks page is the manufacturer of
the film.  The other site has some info on it and also sells the stuff
in the UK.

It is curious to note  there is almost the same
lapse of time between the two all-odd
dates and the two all-even dates : a bit more
than  years.

 This snippet came to me too late to share on
the day.
 
 I can't vouch for it's accuracy I'm afraid.

  Today is November 19th, 1999.
  The numerical format for Wednesday was
11-17-1999. All of the DIGITS are
  odd. The next Odd day is 11-19-1999. (which
is today) The next
  Odd day after that will be 1-1-3111 - which
is well over a thousand 
 years
  away, which we will never see.
  Days such as 4-13-89 have both even and odd
digits, thus, it is neither 
 odd
  nor even.
  The next even day will be 2-2-2000 - the
first one since 8-28-888. So, 
 now
  you have a reason to celebrate this Friday as
it'll be your last odd 
 day on
  Earth!!
