is there such a thing as a terminal clock?

If you use mpd, then ncmpc has a nice clock-screen (if compiled with this option).

i used to use ncmpc like a clock, but i've found just tossing a bunch of music in a file called 'playlist', then playing it with mplayer, to be much simpler. as i already need mplayer, it's one less app, so to use it just for a clock would be like getting a drink of water out of a fire hose.

Now I just have to get this working in conky.

I use dclock, although not in terminal, using xmonad it does the trick you're looking for. Other option could be xclock, cairo-clock did not work.
